My third Cantonese song project featuring 傾城. It is a beautiful song, I was a bit emotional because I immerse into it too much.
🇬🇧If you're a non-Cantonese speaker, I would like to introduce Cantonese songs to you all! Below I have roughly translated the lyrics into English to you understand the story!
I styled myself for this project and I am inspired by the Japanese channel 'The First Take'. Basically, singers in 'The First Take' only have one chance and will not edit before publishing.
I have no proper singing training or song editing skill - I just like singing. And therefore, there are flaws in my singing. I am not professional, so if you want to criticise me, I will not be bothered.
🇭🇰生於90年代卻鍾情80年代廣東歌,我覺得果時嘅旋律同歌詞都係最靚嘅。每首歌有獨特嘅風格,亦有一個令人幻想嘅故事,係可以觸動心弦嘅。做呢個project純粹鍾意唱歌,想分享得鍾意嘅廣東歌俾大家。
我冇學過唱歌,加上只係一take過,完全冇後期修音,所以一定有好多瑕疵。但 I don't care,我只係想唱我想唱嘅。

*This time I have invited ChatGPT to translate and turn it into a story. I read the whole thing - it is BEAUTIFUL.
Once upon a time, there was a passionate couple who found themselves at the crossroads of their relationship. Their love, once vibrant and intense, had gradually waned. It was the night they decided to part ways, a significant moment that would mark the end of their journey together.
As they faced each other, there was a mix of emotions in the air. They exchanged bittersweet words, sweet nothings intermingled with playful lies. Despite the impending separation, they wished for a final moment of connection, a sliver of affection not to be missed.
They had exhausted every topic of conversation, but it no longer mattered. They longed for a last kiss that would carry them through the chilling depths of the night. In the midst of a bustling city, adorned with bright lights, they stood as a reminder of the love they once shared. However, with each passing moment, the promise of a new dawn together had faded away.
With red eyes, they gazed upon the lonely city, their glances filled with a poignant smile. The entire city seemed to pour out its energy for them, creating a grand spectacle that served as the backdrop to their farewell. It was a scene of glamour and splendour, a testament to the ending of their love story.
According to legend, tears of a broken heart possess the power to captivate an entire city. As neon lights dimmed, the world gradually grew colder. Fireworks ceased to sparkle, and the melodies of celebration fell silent. The finale of their story became even more poignant, echoing through the hearts of those who witnessed it.
With red eyes, they continued to gaze upon the lonely city. They smiled, the essence of their happiness squeezed out like a bitter tear. The grand palaces and magnificent buildings stood as a testament to the ephemeral nature of their love, crumbling and rearranging to create a breathtaking scenery, unmatched and unforgettable.
In the legends, it was said that tears shed from a heart consumed by love had the power to move cities. As the neon lights flickered and faded, the world gradually embraced a cold stillness. The fireworks bid their farewell, and the melodies of celebration came to a halt. The ending of their story became a moment of profound beauty, leaving a lasting impact on the hearts of all who experienced it.
